    The Peeping Tom Files: 3 Bizarre Criminal Cases

    Three cases. Three completely different stories. And one thing connecting all of them: voyeurism. On this episode of You’re Free to Go, criminal defense attorneys Guy Fronstin and Marc Nurik take a look at some of the strangest “Peeping Tom” cases they've encountered throughout their legal careers. Guy starts by explaining what legally constitutes voyeurism, including consent, expectation of privacy, sexual intent, hidden cameras and why a charge that may sound bizarre can carry extremely serious consequences. Then come the cases. The first involves a man living in a gated country-club community who was accused of waiting until his wife went to sleep, dressing completely in black and sneaking onto the golf course with a camera. According to the allegations, he would hide outside neighboring homes and secretly record people through their windows. After police eventually searched his home, investigators discovered more than 100 recordings. But when prosecutors struggled to identify and secure cooperation from the alleged victims, the legal case became much more complicated than the disturbing facts initially suggested. Then there's the filmmaker. After purchasing a tiny camera at a convention, the successful filmmaker allegedly attached it to his shoe and used it to secretly record underneath women's skirts at a shopping mall. He was caught, arrested, hired Guy to defend him and spent weeks preparing for court. Then the day of his hearing arrived... He vanished. Years later, according to Guy, the client still hasn't returned and the warrant remains open. The third case begins with teenage girls on a Key West beach who believe a man is secretly recording them. What police allegedly discover after examining his camera turns the investigation into something far more serious than the original voyeurism allegation. Marc also shares a courtroom story involving a key government witness whose credibility became critical to a federal drug case. After discovering contradictory statements the witness had previously made under oath, Marc found an opening during cross-examination — and the trial ultimately ended in a hung jury. Before getting into the cases, Guy and Marc also provide an update on their previous discussion involving Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Fifth Amendment and contempt of Congress, including why lawyers may advise a witness to invoke the Fifth repeatedly rather than selectively answering questions. In this episode: What legally constitutes voyeurism?The origin of the term “Peeping Tom”The country-club case involving 100+ recordingsHow a polygraph affected negotiationsThe filmmaker with a hidden shoe cameraThe client who disappeared before courtA Key West investigation that became much more seriousMarc's cross-examination of a government witnessWhy credibility can change an entire trialDr. Fauci and the Fifth AmendmentCriminal vs. civil consequences of pleading the FifthReal cases.

    Fauci Pleads the Fifth 100+ Times: What Is He Protecting? | You’re Free to Go

    Why would Dr. Anthony Fauci invoke the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times before Congress—and what does that actually mean legally? On this episode of You’re Free to Go, attorneys Guy Fronstin and Marc Nurik break down the controversy surrounding Dr. Fauci’s congressional testimony and his decision to assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Guy and Marc examine both sides of the debate: the legal strategy behind remaining silent, the possibility of a so-called “perjury trap,” the effect of Fauci’s presidential pardon, and whether his previous public statements could complicate his legal position. They also debate a bigger question: even if Fauci has the legal right to remain silent, does someone who played such a prominent role during the COVID-19 pandemic have a moral obligation to answer the public’s questions? The conversation also explores congressional contempt, immunity, gain-of-function research, the Wuhan lab debate, politically motivated investigations, and what could happen if Congress attempts to compel Fauci to testify. Most importantly, Guy and Marc explain why invoking the Fifth Amendment does not mean someone is guilty. It is a fundamental constitutional protection—and sometimes the smartest legal advice a lawyer can give. In this episode: Why Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth AmendmentWhat pleading the Fifth actually protectsFauci’s presidential pardon and its limitationsThe potential “perjury trap”Rand Paul and the congressional investigationCOVID-19, Wuhan and gain-of-function questionsWhether Fauci has a moral obligation to testifyWhat contempt of Congress could meanWhy silence is not proof of guiltHow trial lawyers decide whether a client should testifyWhere do you stand? Should Fauci answer the questions—or is invoking the Fifth exactly what any good attorney would advise him to do?
